Here are some pics I’ve shot during the reconnaissance inside my A6 (taking some measures before pimping it with some custom made wooden cheeks). It’s quite surprising that its guts are not that complicated as it may seem looking at it’s interface. Very clean layout and good engineering (with tons of silicone glue, WTF?). The only con is that in order to remove those original cheeks I have to disassemble all the PCB’s attached to the front panel – and probably all the pots! Teh drama.
Another device i would love to lay my hands on. Like the Wretch Machine, it’s insanely weird piece of technology. And it is oh so expensive again – £1600.00 ex VAT. So who needs my liver now?
BTW, goth/blackmetal design is one thing but there’s also the faceplate made of wood actually. How cool is that?
“The Evol Fucifier is a distortion synthesizer & sound shaper, designed to give you many colors with which to create and shape your palette of sounds. Everything in the signal chain, from the discrete Mic Pre, the Vintage Germanium Preamp, the Analog Filter, and the inductors in the Equalizer to the output transformer, is designed to be overdriven, saturated, overloaded or distorted in a pleasing way. Mix & match the Vintage Germanium Preamp for a little warmth or overdrive, the Tape Saturation overdrive for a little compression and limiting or a bit of signal saturation, the Analog Filter/Crossover (which in itself sounds great overdriven, and can be driven into self oscillation), the Dual Band Distortion which allows you to mix many different types of distortion, and the vintage-style inductor based equalizer to shape the overall tone and color of the sound.” More at Evol Audio.
“The Metasonix S-1000 “Wretch Machine” is unlike any other. It represents a new and radical paradigm for music synthesis. The signal path is 100% valves, and all the waveforms are STRANGE. The S-1000 represents the ultimate development of Metasonix valve electronic-music technology. Now you can explore a new universe, an alternate universe of sound. You cannot get synth-pop noises out of it. You cannot use it in your Human League or Devo cover band. It simply won’t sound as expected. The sound textures of the S-1000 are rough, aggressive and intense. If you are a truly creative musician and searching for new tones and new effects then look no further.” More at Metasonix website.
The price tag is £2100 ex VAT, but still i need this badly.
Hell yeah, what to expect from the stinky asshole who ran that rotten “Beast” magazine? I hate him as everybody hates him. And I am gonna order his stinky book immediately. Gloves are already prepared.
I found out how to be perfect for you my dear
While I was bumping around bumping around
Wish you were here A simple task to feed
Of unforgiven greed Wish you were here
So sweet and delightfully haunted works by Dan May, american painter and illustrator. Experiences we had in childhood, transcendental feeling of curiosity, enchantment and unspoken little fears are rendered just perfectly.
An electronic game without the interface? Well, it is more of a toy than a game, but yes – the only interface is the cube shaped chassis. LevelHead’s purpose is to to test and improve your spatial memory abilities. This sure can be really cool to play with and reminds me bit of M.C. Escher works.
Niskobudżetowe opus magnum Cory’ego McAbee, reżysera, scenarzysty i aktora zarazem (i, jak się okazuje, geniusza). Niskobudżetowość w tym jakże rzadkim przypadku jest zaletą – w przeciwieństwie do poślubionego na wieki filmowym festiwalom, niedorobionego formalnie, artystycznego gówna. Scenografie są minimalne, wizualizacje umowne, a jednek szokująco trafnie budują tło dla fabuły. Fabuły, która również jest umowna, mętna i “intuicyjna”, haha.
The American Astronaut to błyskotliwy mashup dość obcych sobie konwencji – od telewizyjnego SF lat 60, poprzez western, do musicalu, którym ten film przede wszytkim jest. I to jakim. Rednecki, knajpiany stoner rock, z zajebistym biglem – nie jest li tylko tłem dla pogrzanego libretta, to po prostu hicior za hiciorem.
Nie ma co sie oszukiwać – to film nie dla każdego. Trudno przewidzieć reakcje widza, poza jedną – zaskoczeniem. Entuzjaści wczesnego Lyncha czy Jarmusha (“Truposz”) znajdą tam wiele dla siebie, choć równie dobrze moga nie dotrwać do końca dowcipu o hertz donut.
Podsumowując: dla mnie odkrycie, natychmiastowy awans do pierwszej piątki prywatnego zwolenniczaka i automatyczny kulciak. Szkoda, że w 7 lat od premiery (może akurat chory byłem?).
